PAWS PD
Many incentives will be available this year for participation in sessions. Example incentives include, early leave passes, class coverage so you can plan or take a break, & classroom funds.
Our goal is to provide you with PD opportunities that relate to our school improvement plan, are meaningful, and can be easily used in your classroom.
A survey will be out this week to help us plan future sessions!
